 FUNCTION
As part of the roof assembly the deck should
be designed to provide:
Structural support

A deck transfers the weight of live and dead loads
to supporting framing members.

EXPANSION JOINTS

24
 EXPANSION JOINTS
What should be considered in the design and
placement of expansion joints?
The building's thermal movement
characteristics
The structural supports and roof deck
The roof system selected
The climatic conditions

25
 EXPANSION JOINTS
Where should we install expansion joints?

26
 AREA DIVIDERS
Also called Control Joints or Relief Joints
Whats the difference between an expansion joint and
area divider?

 DECK TYPES
The most common types are:
Cementitious wood-fiber deck panels
Lightweight insulating concrete and fills
Poured gypsum concrete
Precast gypsum panel
Steel
Structural concrete (cast-in-place, post-
tensioned and precast/prestressed)
Thermosetting insulating fills
Wood-plank and structural wood-panel decks28
 STRUCTURAL CONCRETE
The three general types of structural concrete
roof decks are:
Cast-in-place - Concretes that are cast on a job-site
over form material and are reinforced with steel bar
and/or wire mesh embedded in a deck.
Post-tensioned - Reinforcement cables or tendons
are tensioned after the concrete has been cast and
taken a set.
Precast/prestressed - Cast at a manufacturing
facility and transported to a job site.

 PRECAST/PRE-STRESSED CONCRETE

1. THE FIRST STEP IN PRETENSIONING IS TO STRETCH THE STEEL PRESTRESSING STRANDS TIGHTLY
ACROSS THE CASTING BED.

2. CONCRETE IS CAST AROUND THE STRETCHED STRANDS AND CURED.

THE CONCRETE BONDS TO THE STRANDS.

3. WHEN THE STRANDS ARE CUT, THE CONCRETE GOES INTO COMPRESSION AND THE BEAM

TAKES ON A CAMBER ENABLING THE MEMBER TO ACCOMMODATE GREATER LOADING.
